In video: The mighty Augrabies

The Khoi people called it 'Aukoerebis', or a place of Great Noise - as this powerful flow of water is unleashed from rocky surroundings characterized by the 18-kilometre of the Orange River Gorge.

The 28,000 hectares on both the northern and southern sides of the Orange River provide sanctuary to a diversity of species, from the very smallest succulents, birds and reptiles to springbok, gemsbok and the endangered black rhino. The most characteristic plant in the park is the giant aloe called quiver tree (kokerboom), and Aloe dichotoma. The tree gets its name from the fact that the Bushmen (San) used the soft branches to make quivers for their arrows. Hire a 4x4 in South Africa to accommodate your travel.

Hiking along the edge of the gorge with truly magnificent views or longer hikes to Moon Rock and the Potholes are truly worth the effort, whilst the birdlife and characteristic quiver trees, rhino and antelope aside. A visit here is essential.

I would like to Thank you and the rest of the team that assisted in making my first experience of car rental a wonderful one.
Being in the Retail Service Industry at OR Thambo Int. Airport, I frequently come across bad service from others, expecting the same service, that we deliver.
This tends to make me expect bad service but you have renewed my hope that there are companies out there that can deliver!

I would like to also thank your partner First Car Rental, they were fast and extremely efficient. I actually waited longer on the runway, on arriving home, for a bus to the terminal than it took to get my rental. The Nissan Tiida was a wonderful car, economical, very comfortable and great for tall guys like me.

You and First Car Rental are more than welcome to use me as a reference.
Regards
Richard
